Blood Oath: Forever Yours novel Chapter 18

Screech!

The deafening squeal resulting from the friction between the tires and the ground had almost perforated Charlotte’s eardrums, and the car halted steadily right in front of her knees in the next second!

Her legs had given way due to the overwhelming fright after a close encounter with death as she slumped down on the ground while shaking in her shoes.

Bang!

Lawrence slammed the door on his side after getting down from the car, and he had reached her in just a few large strides with a sinister look on his face. He dragged her violently and pressed her against the enclosure wall of the courtyard as he rebuked her, “Are you here to harass my mother when you know that you failed persuading me, Charlotte? Don’t you want to live anymore or continue trouble my family?!”

His eyes were brimming with deadly coldness and undisguised revulsion towards her when he had uttered those cruel words.

Charlotte’s heart was pricked as she shook her head desperately to deny his claim, “I wasn’t trying to harass your mother. The only reason that we’re together is due to…”

Victoria had trotted out from the courtyard right at that moment after hearing some stir with shards of the broken ceramic bowl in her hands. When her eyes were laid on the scene unfolding in front of her, she gasped in horror while exclaiming, “Lance!”

She immediately sprinted towards them and pulled Lawrence away from Charlotte, and she proceeded to grab Charlotte by the hand and hide the poor girl behind her while giving her son a cold look, “Don’t browbeat Lotta. She didn’t do anything wrong.”

“How in the world could you treat her like that? The old you used to be so distressed even when Lotta had just frowned or shed a drop of tear back then.”

Lawrence sneered as his frosty eyes swept across Charlotte, “You do know that it’s in the past, don’t you, Mom? She used to be a princess whom was cherished by everyone, but now she was just a shameless prostitute. Do you think I still care about her?”

Charlotte’s face turned ghastly as her heart was pierced through by his ruthless remarks, and it turned out that his feelings for her was all there was to it.

She wondered how much he had loathed her for him to be able to humiliate her in front of his own mother.

“Cut it out, Lance!” Victoria berated him in a forbidding manner as she could not bear to hear him spitting out malicious remarks at Charlotte anymore.

“Your remarks are out of line! Do you have any idea how hurtful that is?”

Allison had witnessed the happenings firsthand from inside the car through the half-rolled down window. She narrowed her eyes while staring at Charlotte, and it took her just one glance to imprint Charlotte’s face on her mind.
